What is the latest frontier of attacks for ISIS (Islamic State)? The U.S. energy grid. Thankfully they are awful at hacking the energy companies (thus far). According to an announcement by the assistant secretary for infrastructure protection at the Department of Homeland Security at a U.S. energy industry conference this past Wednesday. Evidently ISIS has been attempting to hack our grid without really understanding how to do it. The concern though, is that they will one day, be able to purchase that capability.
